[NSFL] Developer 237 & Demonophobia

Considering that even the Cancelled Games Wiki lists the reason for the sequel's cancellation simply as "We will never know!", I have to imagine it's very improbable that more info on this will ever come to light - and realistically, if I were the one independently making a game like Demonophobia, I highly doubt I'd have given out any personal information. Seems the dude just ghosted hard and did, so effectively.

That said, I'll go on record adding another voice saying I'm very interested in this one as well - even though the game is so perversely fucked-up and nothing I'd ever really want to play. There is something rather unsettling to the fact that someone who made a game as dark and twisted as Demonophobia just went offline without a trace. I hope the dude just got tired of the whole thing and moved on with his life, but given the subject matter of that game, and the fact that it's the kind of thing I only ever read about late at night, hard to not wonder if maybe his life took a darker path in some direction or another. Probably not, but you never know.

Anyways, I'm with you in hoping for info here - not that I want to find out who the developer is personally or expose his private info, but I do hope he resurfaces (or has some other account on a gaming site or something) and can provide some answers about where he's been and what ever happened to the sequel. I hope he is well (and imagine that he is and just in a very mundane sense ran into creative, logistical, and/or personal obstacles in completing the sequel.)

yikes.

Yikes.

Okay but isn't this game still existing online??

So, this thread is not about the game itself, but more about "who's the culprit behind this"

Apparently I found 237's profile on a Japanese website.

Here is the link to his profile on the website:

ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/11758

If I understand correctly, you were investigating the relationship between the name The Window People and 237. On the website it presents itself as Window Frame, and the nickname 237 is not mentioned.

According to profile:

• 237 has a profile on X/Twitter, but he doesn't have anything much there, just reposts.

• According to himself, he is producing a new Ryona Guro game called Dysthanasia using Unreal 4.

• Demonophobia was his first game, he made it with zero knowledge while still learning programming.
